Document Formats
Many of the publications on this website are available in PDF format to enable easier reading and printing offline. This format is not always readily accessible to people with disabilities. Because of this, we have provided most documents with synopses that go some way to providing an alternative format to the PDF documents.
The Garda Síochána Inspectorate is working towards making its PDFs fully accessible.
To read PDF documents, you need to have Adobe Reader on your computer. DownloadAdobeReaderforfree.
Navigation Aids
A breadcrumb link is available at the top each page to help you navigate.
The home page and all internal pages include a search box (access key 6).
Advanced search options are also available.
The Skip Navigation link in the site header allows you to skip over the navigation and go directly to the main content of each page.
Images
All content and decorative images on this site include descriptive ALT attributes. ALT titles are providedto explain the content or the purpose of the image in question.
Colour-blind or Partially Sighted Users
You can increase and decrease the font size or override it completely.
We have checked the site font and background colour combinations for the different colour-blindness conditions and ensured that items are not referenced by colour alone.
